Peruvian Hemingway

Some Facts...

·  Bred by the Rural Allianza co-op and originates from their plantel herd located in Macusani.  This herd is known all over Peru for its fine fleece.

·  Imported to the USA in the first Peruvian import and was selected for import by Australian Roger Haldane.

·  Hemingway's overall coverage is considered stellar.  He has been confirmed to be the number one award winning fleece/male in history.

·  Micron tested at age 3 with his front, rear and mid-side samples at 18.8, 18.3, and 17.8 microns respectively.  The side sample full numbers were: 17.8/3.9/21.9.  At age 8, his fleece still retains an incredible softness, brightness, and fine crimp.

·  Proven to be highly prepotent in his ability to pass his fleece qualities on to his offspring.  As reported in a study by Mike Safley, Hemingway has proven to reduce micron and to improve uniformity in fleece by approximately 25%.
